Scene #2, Albuquerque BioPark. I hear a woman excitedly say to the child in her stroller “Whatcha doin, monkey?!” I then walk by the front of the stroller and the kid smiles at me.

Kid: “Hi!”

Me: “Hey, Monkey!”

Kid (looking AMAZED): “How do you know my name?!”

Me: “We are at a zoo… and I just guessed.” (Woman bursts out laughing, kid is unexpectedly satisfied by my answer.)

Scene #3, Capitol Reef National Park. Kid rushes over and tells me that his dad is “38 plus 2 years old” and tells me the name of the street in Wyoming where he lives. He immediately gets distracted but comes over again later and introduces himself as Uinta, clearly having forgotten that we had already met.
